Albino Yellow Tiger?
Qin Lin understood wild crucian carp, wild grass carp, and wild black carp.
He truly didn't understand ornamental fish.
Every time he saw expensive ornamental fish meticulously raised by others, his first thought was how would they taste steamed or stir-fried?
He felt like those people were paying an exorbitant tax on their intelligence.
However, now that he had obtained such a valuable wild ornamental fish, he took out his phone and searched online.
The Albino Yellow Tiger is a top-tier mutated strain of the Indonesian Tiger, characterized by its striking white and brown coloration and very beautiful appearance.
Wild ones are extremely rare, a matter of luck and opportunity. It's like how beautiful women after makeup, surgery, or beauty filters are common, but truly naturally beautiful women are rare.
Of course, that wasn't the main point. When Qin Lin saw the price of this wild Albino Yellow Tiger, he was truly dumbfounded.
This single fish could sell for 600,000? That's the price of a top-trim BMW 5 Series?
For an ordinary person like him, a fish being equal to a BMW 5 Series was unimaginable.
The key was that this kind of fish was "have market, no goods"? One would appear and be snatched up by fish enthusiasts. This just showed there were too many people with money to spend.
Qin Lin incredulously entered the game and looked at the fish the dwarf had given him. Could this fish really be worth so much money?
It was worth more than all the money he had earned from diligently growing watermelons, strawberries, and okra during this period.
[Wild Albino Yellow Tiger: Quality 2!] [This is a very aesthetically pleasing fish. Ornamental Value +2, Taste +2, Deliciousness +2, Desire to Purchase +2!]
It really did have better taste~
Although he thought people who would spend 600,000 on such a fish had serious problems, he now desperately wanted to find one of those people with problems.
Between an expensive fish and 600,000, he would naturally choose 600,000 without hesitation.
But who to sell it to was a problem. Although they would be snatched up as soon as one appeared, he didn't know how to let those who would snatch it up know about it.
With a thought, Qin Lin took the container with the wild Albino Yellow Tiger out of the game. He then directly called a DiDi and carefully carried the fish into the car.
There was an ornamental fish shop in You City, but that shop definitely wouldn't have ornamental fish worth hundreds of thousands. They only sold fish worth tens or hundreds of yuan.
However, since the owner ran an ornamental fish shop, they must have connections in this area, right?
Thinking he was holding over 600,000 yuan, Qin Lin immediately instructed the DiDi driver as soon as he got in the car: "Driver, please drive slowly later, don't startle the fish."
"..." The DiDi driver glanced at Qin Lin from the rearview mirror, feeling like he had encountered another eccentric passenger.
It was just a fish, did he really need to give him special instructions? How fast could he drive in this city? At most, he'd overtake a few cars.
Naturally, the DiDi driver didn't know this fish was worth a top-trim BMW 5 Series. Otherwise, he might have refused the ride.
Shortly after, Qin Lin was brought to a shop called Hui Mai Ornamental Fish. As he entered, he saw a man whistling and patiently feeding fish food into a tank containing a fish of unknown species.
The man looked gentler than he probably was to his own wife.
"Is the boss here?" Qin Lin asked, holding the Albino Yellow Tiger as he entered the shop.
"Sir, I am the boss!" the man replied, turning around. His gaze was immediately drawn to the fish in Qin Lin's hand, and he exclaimed, "Albino Yellow Tiger? With this coloration and appearance, is it wild? It's a top specimen."
"Sir, are you looking to buy an aquarium or fish food? If it's an aquarium, I don't have anything worthy of your fish here. You'd probably need a custom order. As for fish food, I still have some..."
Qin Lin immediately said, "Boss, I'm looking to sell this fish. Do you have any channels?"
These words clearly made the boss's eyes light up. He enthusiastically invited Qin Lin to sit down: "Sir, my name is Lin Sheng. Are you looking for a buyer for this fish? I do have channels to help you and can help you get the best price. However, according to regulations, I, as the intermediary, need to take a 2% commission on the transaction amount."
This was why he suddenly became so enthusiastic.
He knew the price of a wild Albino Yellow Tiger. Coincidentally, he also knew that in a WeChat group for aquarium enthusiasts, there were a few people looking to buy ornamental fish in this price range. This wasn't a god of wealth visiting, what a coincidence!
How many low-priced ornamental fish or aquariums would he need to sell to earn that much?
"Boss Lin, let's follow the rules. You'll get what you're owed," Qin Lin agreed, having no objections. Didn't many businesses in society rely on intermediaries? Such people had a professional title: broker.
Naturally, there were professional brokers and those who just played the part temporarily. Qin Lin could tell Lin Sheng was clearly just playing the part.
As for the 2% commission he mentioned, Qin Lin didn't know if it was too much or normal.
However, 2% was insignificant to him. After all, this fish was cost-free. If he had to find a buyer himself, he wouldn't have the connections and might waste a lot of time and effort, possibly even encountering trivial issues.
"Sir, you look like a generous person." Lin Sheng's smile widened when Qin Lin agreed. However, fearing Qin Lin might renege, he very professionally printed a consignment contract and had them both sign it.
Afterward, he took several photos and videos of the fish, checking for any markings or registration codes.
Seeing that they were all blank, he excitedly started operating his phone. He made several more phone calls and sent WeChat pictures and videos.
This process lasted for about an hour before Lin Sheng said to Qin Lin again, "Sir, I've contacted 3 interested parties for you. One is an aquarium city boss who offered the highest price, willing to pay 650,000 for this fish. The buyer is from the city, about a 2-hour drive away. They are on their way now."
"Okay!" Qin Lin nodded. He hadn't expected the buyer to be more anxious than him, the seller.
Two hours passed quickly. A Rolls-Royce stopped in front of the shop, and a man nearing 40 walked in, immediately asking, "Boss Lin, where's the fish?"
Lin Sheng immediately pointed to the container on the table, "Boss Zhuang, the fish is here. Beside me is the owner, Mr. Qin."
"Mr. Qin, may I see the fish first?" Boss Zhuang was clearly eager. After a greeting, he eagerly stepped forward to examine it.
Qin Lin didn't disturb him.
But he could clearly see a lewd expression gradually appearing on Boss Zhuang's face.
"Beautiful, truly beautiful... these eyes... this figure... this skin, it's perfect!" Boss Zhuang said with a face full of joy. "Pure natural, not altered, is indeed even more exceptional."
He looked as if other men had seen a great beauty.
This left Qin Lin completely bewildered. To be honest, in his eyes, the fish was just a bit pretty and nothing more.
"Mr. Qin, I'll take this fish. We can trade and transfer the money immediately," Boss Zhuang said anxiously after admiring it for a moment.
This fish was an exceptional specimen, pure natural and wild, and had been very well cared for. It was perfect to be one of the highlights of his Aquarium City's ornamental fish exhibition this time.
Moreover, for some reason, when he saw this fish, he felt an intense urge to buy it. He knew he would regret it if he didn't buy it.
Qin Lin naturally had no objections. However, he truly didn't understand these fish enthusiasts. This person was more eager to buy a fish for 650,000 than he was to sell it, like someone who had just hooked up with a beautiful woman and was ready to book a room.
Perhaps this was the effect of Purchase Desire +2!
Soon.
Boss Zhuang left with the fish, his face flushed with excitement.
Naturally, Qin Lin also received a notification of a large sum of money arriving in his account.
"Your account ending in... received ¥650,000.00. Balance: ¥1,035,779.60."
In an instant, he had become a millionaire?
